About this ebook

"An optimistic look at the magic of life." --- Kirkus Reviews
An unflinching look at the life of a Baby Boomer woman told with heart, humor and charm. Roberts grapples with the question: how do you keep the twinkle in your eye and the sass in your walk as you get older? The unique way she finds the answer has been described as "Funny, touching and inspirational" ~ "Heart tugging and heart warming" ~ "Delightful!"

Roberts takes the reader on a captivating journey where real life collides with real miracles. With stories ranging from candidly intimate to wonderfully adventurous, each chapter or parable uncovers a piece of the puzzle. And as it comes together, the picture that emerges reflects Roberts' life-affirming faith, one of the essential ingredients in her secret formula for happiness.

A charming and uplifting read, Marsha's style of writing makes you feel as if you're with a trusted friend, sharing life lessons over a cup of coffee.

Marsha Roberts

Marsha Roberts always possessed a gypsy spirit in search of adventure. After career hopping for years, she talked her way into producing Corporate Theater for clients such as IBM and Coca-Cola. But one fateful night she had a dream which was to become a unique stage play, "Letters From The Front." For fifteen years "Letters" was the only professional theatrical production to tour military bases around the world - well over a hundred of them. This highly praised show touched hundreds of thousands of lives, was the first play ever to perform at the Pentagon, and became known as The World's Most Decorated Play. It also gave Marsha the opportunity to travel from Alaska to Florida, England to Italy, Japan to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and hundreds of stops in between. She climbed aboard a C-131, C-17 (and a bunch of other C-aircraft!), taking her show to far away places. Not to mention seeing America mile-by-mile as the show was bus-and-trucked to major cities and little towns from sea to shining sea. She shares some of these experiences and more in her inspirational memoir "Confessions of an Instinctively Mutinous Baby Boomer and her Parable of the Tomato Plant."

    This is simply a wonderful book which offers hope to everyone who has ever struggled with almost any human condition. The writer doesn't whitewash anything, indeed, she willing shares the triumphs and struggles which take place in her life.
    Confessions belongs on the nightstand. When hope is not at hand, it can be.
    The book made this reader want to meet the author and become a friend. I'm not sure I can give a higher recommendation than that! Kudos, Ms. Roberts, I sincerely hope our paths cross.

    Life is definitely like a tomato plant: either full of juicy fruit or eaten away by vermin. Through a series of short chapters, the author details her interesting personal journey through the lens of her strong faith. Inspiring and thought provoking, each chapter does reveal a universal truth as the word parable implies. This is an ideal book for a book club as the stories lend themselves to discussion on questions everyone faces. For example, what would you do if you lost everything you worked for, as happened to the author? On a baby-boomer level, many women will relate to having been told as children that certain paths were closed to them purely on the basis of their sex, a book club topic itself.
